      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Other design features: For randomization, the permuted block randomization will be used with quadruple blocks. According to the sample size of 88 identified, 22 blocks will be produced using the online site (www.sealedenvelope.com). In order to apply the concealment in the randomization process, unique codes will be used on the pharmaceutical boxes, which will be generated by the software. By entering each individual into a study based on the sequence produced, the packet of the drug in which the code is registered will be assigned to the individual. During the research, the random list has been provided to the statistics consultant  and patients, executor of plan and everybody who takes part in measuring indicators will not be informed of the assigned groups.</study_design>
